False decoder error on provision 3800 KA.15.15.0006

Hello.

 

When debug output is activated (3800 KA.15.15.0006):

 

debug openflow 
debug destination session

 

I am receiving errors (but message is processed):

 

0000:19:07:48.46 OPFL eOFNetTask:RX from tcp:192.168.56.7:6633: 0:
   OFPT_PACKET_OUT (OF 0x04) (xid=0x188e): ***decode error: OFPBRC_BAD_LEN***

 

I capture packet (xid=0x188e is 6286) (also attached PACKET_OUT.pcapng):

I check specification ("OpenFlow Switch Specification Version 1.3.1 (Wire Protocol 0x04)" appendix A), but cannot find any error :-(

 

- TCP len = 109

- OF len = 109 = 24 (struct ofp_packet_out) + 16 (struct ofp_action_output) + data 69 (14 (L2 header) + 55 (LLDP))

 

Is it the minor bug (only debug output bug) in firmware or something is bad ?

 

Thanks, Martin Cerveny

Re: False decoder error on provision 3800 KA.15.15.0006

Hello,

 

Can you please send the full debug output from the switch - starting at the creation of the flow.

Keep the same debug switches that you used.

 

And can you also include a wireshark capture of that same test?

 

Thank you,

 

Scott

Hello.

 

The same packet is captured by wireshark & switch debug output (no mode erros show) & packet trace by SDN VAN CTLR added in original post. I will not setup test enviroment near feature.
